India says it attacked nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir
The Indian armed forces have confirmed it targeted nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir as part of “Operation Sindoor”.
A statement from the Indian armed forces reads:
A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.
Altogether, nine (9) sites have been targeted.
It said its actions have been “focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature” and that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted, adding:
India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.
The statement says the strike comes in the wake of the “barbaric” attack in which dozens of Indians were murdered in Pahalgam in Kashmir.

Pakistan says it was attacked by India with missiles
A Pakistani military spokesperson has said India attacked Pakistan in three locations with missiles on Wednesday.
Multiple loud explosions were heard in the Pakistani Kashmir area close to the mountains around the city of Muzaffarabad after midnight on Tuesday, Reuters reports, citing multiple witnesses.
After the explosions, the city’s power was blacked out, according to the witnesses.
It comes amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan following an attack in Kashmir last month, which left 26 Indian nationals killed and 10 injured after suspected militants opened fire at a popular local tourist destination.
